The High Character Of the Newspaper
Advertisements of To-day
An advertisement of the present day.
as a rule, is model of clcarness. pre-
cision and compactness. In fact. quite
degree Of pleasure can be derived
from the perusal of it, aside from the
important information which II often
times conveys.
In ingenuity the modern advertise
ment is remarkable; in fact, II Is FREE
quently work of art. both in a literary
and typographical sense. The aim Of
some advertisers in many cases seems
to be to draw the attention of the
reader away from the fact that 1t Is an
advertisement. While not taking
rank among what may be termed
literary productions, it possesses many
of their brightest features, In the
hands of master workman, be he adj
vertiser writer or compositor, the
matter becomes attractive to the most
casual reader. The latter's attention
is drawn toward it and his interest in
it aroused before he is fully aware of
the merely putting ones merchandise
has passed out Of date. The reading
and purchasing public OF to-day de-
mand something stronger and better.
That this want is recognized and APP
preeiated by the keea~ r3yertiser and
equally alelt public is apparent ID
almost every one. The fact-fs adyeH~-
tising has become such an integral
part of modern business methods that
it is almost impossible to carry
on any kind of trade or traffic
without it's aid. 1t is well known
that many concerns pay large
salaries to skilled writer's whose only
employment is the invention and the
framing Of attractive and telling adj
vertisements.
Thousands of dollars are annually
expended simply in putting the mat
ter in shape, and many millions more
for its publication in the press. The
firm who can express in clear. strong
and concise language. set in attractive
form of display, just what it has to Of
fer. at once attracts the merchant rs
well as the consumer.
No merchant can now wholly depend
for business upon the fact Of his being
well known to the trade. No matter
how many years he may have been es-
iablished. or how familiar his name Is
to the purchasing public, or how cele-
brated his wares are. if he does not
advertise and keep doing so in some
way, buyers and consumers win IN
time ignore him and visit and trade
with his competitor who sounds his
trumpet upon all occasions TO the ex-
tent Of thousands of dollars a year,
and pays the same without murmur

A Strange Tale of Infatuation Between
 Uncle and Niece

A strange 10IS or 1n1AtuAt1On Between
 Uncle and Niece.
 NEwBURGH, Sept. 11.-A fne-looking lady of middle age stopped at Smith street resi- dence to day. She was exhausted and weep ing bitterly. She said she came from Marlborough, Ulster county, seven miles north of Hewburgh, was the wife of a we'll known farmer and had four children. Her husband, who is thirty five, she said, was in- fatuated with a seventeen year old girl, his niece, who lived with the family, and she at length decided that either the niece or herself should leave the house. A family council was held, the girl being admitted. The girl said she was deeply in love with her uncle, and the uncle said he worshipped the girl and nothing could keep them apart, and to get rid of his wife he offered to deed to her all of the real estate he owned in Marlbor- ough, which is said to be valuable The wife, seeing there was no hope for her, at length consented. An agreement was made to come to Newburgh today and have the necessary papers drawn. The niece said she would come on ahead and remain here until everything had been arranged. She came and occupied rooms in 8 hotel last night. The husband came to-day, the wife following on the next train, her suspicious of g run away being aroused. She was accompanied by friend, and when they arrived meeting was held. Then a lawyer was engaged to draw up the documents for the transfer of the property. After the woman had told her story she was seen on the street in company with the niece. The wife is by far the better looking of the two. She said that the papers had not yet been completed, but would be before night.

WILL TIT BE EMBARRASSMENT

A New Freight Yard Contemplated Tor the Consolidated Road at Cedar HilI.
 A new scheme that is being talked of now by the Consolidated road is the establish ment of new freight yard at Cedar Hill. Whether or not it will be done has not been definitely settled, but the probability is that the business of the company is taking such stride upward that another yard will be nec- essary. A new freight office is also contem- plated.
 The location of the proposed yard is be- tween James street and the Blakeslee estate, and between State street and the Consolidated roads tracks A new yard would undoubt- edlv be the means of increasing business in that vicinity. It would certainly be of great convenience to the merchants in Fair Haven, and would probably lead to the building up of Cedar Hill.

Vermont Village Much Excited.

SPRINGFIELD, Vt, Sept. 11.-There has been considerable excitement at the village of Upper Falls since the arrest of Henry Sanderson upon the charge of criminal as- sault on Annie Glynn. Public opinion is about equally divided as to his guilt. At the hearing last night Justice Spoford discharged the prisoner, holding that there was not suf- fcient evidence to warrant his being held for the district court. The defense was an alibi. The friends of Sanderson claim that it is a scheme to drive him from town, that the girl was drugged by her friends, who overdid it and nearly killed her. The girls reputation is not of the hest

PRISON REFORM.
KxPresident Hayes Discusses The Du'
 fIAa of SnciafY.


 TORONTO, Sept. 11.-Ex-President Hayes in his speech before the prison congress yes- terday spoke strongly in favor of prison re- form. Society is silent and inactive in the presence of many recognized evils, be said, because society has no faith. They are ac cepted as inevitable and endured because they are believed to be beyond cure, but in world that governs no notion can be more false or harmful. Presi- dent Hayes reviewed the movement looking to prison reform, which, he said, had nothing in common with the sentimentalism that makes martyrs of condemned murderers and heroes out of convicted felons. It does not send women to the cells of the justly con demned with rare delicacies and costly flow CTS. It does not sign petitions for executive clemency simply because somebody presents them. Prison reform believes in the en- forcement of law. It insists upon the proper punishment of crime as necessary. Prison reform seeks for the reform of prisoners by various methods, among them being classif- cation of prisons and prisoners, industrial training, productive labor, education and reliOion

Tony Hartys SfnguIar Addiction.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Tony Hart, the actor, is suffering from paralysis of the tongue, lip and throat. The trouble is as yet very slight. None but Tony's most intimate friends can detect anything peculiar about his utterance in conversation. It is only when he gets excited that his voice passes beyond his control. Whether the paralysis will stop right where it is for while and then disappear, or whether it will become permanent, few months will tell. Should it become permanent and progressive it would, of course, interfere with his work on the stage. His physician, Dr. Robertson, thinks that the worry and hard work of the past few years have developed the trouble, and possibly that the chemicals, lead in par ticular, in the paints used in ''making up" actors faces have centered it in it's present spot
